• February 2018
"Starting from tomorrow, let's work together to change things now."
We can no longer ignore the problems created by plastic garbage. We have to tell convenience stores to stop using plastic bags; we have to repair rather than replace, reuse oil and recycle We must repeatedly tell ourselves not to buy things we don’t need.
Madeleine is a passionate educator, speaker, facilitator, blogger and sustainability consultant, teaching people of all ages and backgrounds how to live with less using the 7R’s: rethink, refuse, reduce, reuse, repair, recycle and rot. She has dedicated the past two years to learning, implementing, and teaching new ways to live a fully sustainable life in an urban environment. She is a full-time lecturer at Bangkok University International, where she also advises on internships, mentors entrepreneurial-minded students, and fosters sustainable choices and behaviour among her students and colleagues.
